Strategic Policy SP/2: Levels of Housing Growth
Representation ID: 27995
Received: 19/09/2019
Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The HBF considers that the proposed level of growth is not aspirational enough and although based on an economic led strategy, it is not one which takes full account of the potential of the area and the wider aspirations of North Wales.
The preferred growth option in terms of economic growth relies on the allocation of between 12-14 ha of employment land whereas the findings of BP18 recommended employment land requirement range is 12-21 ha. The Council would appear to have chosen the lowest level of land provision resulting in a low level of jobs created.
See attached documents.
Not Accepted: The Preferred Strategy matches the amount of jobs growth to the number of new dwellings needed, taking into population projections and need for affordable housing. This equates to 4300 dwellings (excluding contingency) and 1800 new jobs as identified the Employment Land Review Background Paper.

3.3.5
Representation ID: 27996
Received: 19/09/2019
Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The HBF objects to to the suggestion at para 3.3.5 "It is clear that a number of the Strategic Sites need to be phased appropriately in order to meet the Band B and C School Modernisation Programme over the Plan Period". We do not believe that the need to deliver new schools should be a reason to phase development.
See attached documents.
Not accepted: Development sites should provide for the infrastructure requirements arising as a result of the development. If there is no current capacity in the existing schools, the development will be phased accordingly.

Received: 19/09/2019
Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The HBF supports the proposed levels of growth but question whether or not they could be more ambitious in line with the Councils own adopted Economic Growth Strategy.
See attached documents.

Strategic Policy SP/12: Infrastructure and New Development
Representation ID: 27999
Received: 19/09/2019
Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The HBF suggests some additional wording is added to the following paragraph:
3.13.6 On-site provision is the preferred option, particularly for obligations such as affordable housing and recreational spaces. Where necessary, the developer will be responsible for the future upkeep of the obligation. Development should not take
place before the infrastructure needed by its occupants is in place "or in agreement with a phased approach based on agreed triggers". Unless otherwise stated, there are no exceptions.

Strategic Policy SP/15: Housing
Representation ID: 28000
Received: 19/09/2019
Respondent: Home Builders Federation Ltd
The HBF requests that in point 1 the word "approximately" should be replaced by the words "minimum of" and the word "contingency" be changed to "flexibility" to avoid confusion. The HBF also objects to the housing figure as discussed elsewhere in our comments.
See attached documents.
Part accepted. CCBC will seek to deliver this number of new homes but there may be variables throughout the Plan period which affect this figure and therefore the inclusion of 'approximately' is considered to be reasonable. Agree to change 'contingency' to 'flexibility' in line with national guidance.
